Marshal Training

We all know the importance of giving the correct treatment within the first few minutes of an incident. With this in mind, the Isle of Man TT Marshals' Association Limited in conjunction with the St. John Ambulance Service runs Incident Management Courses (IMC) during the year.
Current course dates can be seen here and if you would like more information about them, please contact our office, details on the Contacts page.

Completion of the course gives a IMC badge and Certificate from St. John Ambulance. The certificate given is a Nationally recognised St John Ambulance certificate, 'Emergency Aid for Motorcyclists' which will also give you the skills for dealing with an RTC etc.

The knowledge you gain would be taken everywhere with you - it could be vital at home, work, on the street, as well as when marshalling at the TT, MGP or one of the many other Motorcycling events on the Isle of Man.

The ultimate ambition of the Isle of Man TT Marshals' Association Ltd. is to have all our members IMC trained however this is NOT a requirement to marshal at the TT or the MGP. Please also note that the training is IOM-specific and has nothing to do with marshalling at circuits in the UK or Ireland.

We arrange a number of IMC training courses both on the Island and in the UK during the year, and details will be placed on this website and in our regular newsletters.
If you would like to be notified of courses later in the year, please email our secretary and she will let you know when dates have been finalised. Certified training is available for all marshals both on and off the Island, so please make every attempt to attend and keep your skills up.

The following training dates have been confirmed:

The courses normally commence at 08:45 for registration and finish at approx 5pm.
There are 24 places (Maximum) available on each course. Once this is filled names will go on a waiting list and other courses will be arranged to suit numbers, anyone wishing to attend please contact the office.

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a must when marshalling, good sturdy boots or shoes (for swiftly removing debris from the track), leather gloves ( Bike gloves are ideal ), orange proban overalls if you have some and from 2004 onwards the wearing of an orange tabard is obligatory (and displaying your warrant in either an armband or on a lanyard).

If you are unfortunate enough to have an incident at your location then remember the following:-
LET THE DUST SETTLE BEFORE MOVING!! - sometimes counting to ten helps you gather your thoughts
and remember the five point action plan (AMEGA)

• Assess the situation ( are the flags out, are the bikes slowing down )
• Make the area safe ( remove any debris and deal with hazards )
• Give Emergency Aid ( if taught to do so or assist the Medics on scene )
• Get Help (do this straight way- call Race Control)
• Deal with the Aftermath (Replace kit, prepare a report if necessary )
